90% of those who quit meth will return to meth. So the person in your example is fucked from the beginning and will not so easily say that. Take that.

i don't know why everyone else is against this, but do what you want man. sounds like you just have to figure out whether you want it or not.

how would i not have anything solid to go off of? 1. what are my qualifications 2. do i actually want to be a model 3. is this legit 4. do i have the money for this.

if i made the decision to go to paris and it was a bust, what would i be learning? that i shouldn't be a model? ok problem solved and i move on with life.

That's super shallow, if you never push yourself and make mistakes, you won't lead a very interesting life. I'd much rather study abroad, challenge myself but maybe fail, than stay home and know i'll succeed.

So what you're saying is if you're trying to do something you would rather fail the first time and do it right the second time? I think there's a Glee song about that.

There's nothing wrong with challenging yourself, but you do it because you want to gain from it. You have a goal to reach and your ultimate goal does not depend on you screwing up on the way

Hmm, maybe not necessarily, but I think taking risks is pretty key.

well i agree, if you don't take risks you're never gonna get anywhere. but that doesn't mean you're ultimately going to fail.

I have never watched glee, so I don't know what you're talking about.

Obviously you shouldn't start something planning to fail, but the risk of failing shouldn't stop you doing anything. Some pretty fun stuff has come from me thinking, 'well, this might well be a terrible idea, but here I go anyway'

This is pretty much how I determine if something's fun or not.

Also I doubt anybody on here doesn't take risks - check maryo's 360 on the homepage -
Although it depends how you define risk.

For a woman her age, I'd say that's a risk. Props to her

But taking risks means that failure is an inherent factor, otherwise they're not risks.

Obviously this is incredibly subjective, some people enjoy staying home, having a nine to five and staying safe and that's fine. I'd rather fly somewhere new, see how it goes, send it and have a good time, even if it goes wrong every now and again. When shit does go wrong, you come out the other side knowing you can deal with it.

True, And I do that too. But I limit the things I actually do to those I believe have a high chance of success. Unless I've been drinking, in which case who fkn knows

I think a good analogy is with girls, the first time you like one, it feels like a risk making a move, because knowing she doesn't like you would feel worse than thinking that maybe she likes you. But eventually you know that it's much better to take the risk, because good things can come from it, and rejection isn't so bad anyway.

missing spectating my university hockey club's first XI playing in the scottish cup final tomorrow (this hasnt happened in a VERY long time, and could easily not happen again for the rest of my university career) AND playing the last away game of the season in edinburgh tomorrow (obviously it would have ended up as a choice between the two but that's beside the point) because of a class that's compulsory, but completely and utterly pointless and bears no significance to my degree.

to say i'm not happy would be an understatement.

Say you consented to having anal sex with me. On the one hand it's bad because now your anus is in tatters, but it's good because now you know better.

Does that help?

How can you have so little interaction with your parents that they don't know where you're interested in going to college? Why would you not tell them you want to leave the state/country? Why are you bragging about this? What the fuck is wrong with kids now?
